The futile Health Care battle
By P Alfonso on Mar 10, 2010 | In 1. The Nation | Send feedback »
Obama Care or not it does not seem to matter as we are quickly heading towards what could become Medical Armageddon. Most still fail to realize that we are now living in a bankrupted nation and lack understanding of what all of this means. To no avail, the people and politicians have been bickering and negotiating for over a year on how to proceed with the nation's Health Care system.
Behind of all of the infighting in Washington on modifying our Health Care there is one thing that they won't tell you but all agree on, they do not know how to fix or pay for Medicare and Medicaid and want it off their books. They also do not have the money to pay for the uninsured. Visit the following links and see how quickly the system is deteriorating. The medical system in England faces a lot of criticism and things are about to get much worse. Is our nation heading in the same direction? See what is about to happen in Miami as it could set the stage for the nation to follow.
Very likely, we are heading towards one of two possible Health Care systems at least for some time:
We can have a Socialized system in which the government manages and controls the care and who receives it based on the age criteria, priorities set forth by government and how the person manages his/her health. This system has been properly characterized as having "Death Panels" as in many cases they will pull the plug instead of paying.
Or we can have one in which there will no longer be a guaranteed care without the ability to finance one's own service, which we could name "Pay or Die".
Either way there is no happy ending for the chronically ill and for the poor in poor health. Considering more and more Americans are becoming poor it is easy to see where we are heading. Just think how much more manageable Social Security would be if a few million of the elderly were to be scrapped from their roster. Let's us face reality instead of just looking for a miracle, with the presently $2 trillion yearly deficit, soon unlimited free medical care will be a thing of the past.
What will be the future of Health Care?

Social Security quick fix is another Obama lie
By P Alfonso on Feb 20, 2010 | In 1. The Nation | Send feedback »
Not to pick on Obama for many others are also lying or pretending that the huge Social Security insolvency problem does not exist. Surely, most would like to believe that our government would make good on its obligation to the Social Security system. Who would tend to believe that our government would alter its commitment by failing to do such.
Our government we tend to see as a reflection of what our forefathers created. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the moral Christian Ethic, honesty and hard work are the image portrayed on the government of the greatest nation that has ever existed on earth. The problem with this is that during the last century a few men slowly began to destroy everything that our nation stood for. During this time, others joined them for personal gains and created one Tax Ponzi Scheme after another. And yes, Social Security is one of them. The pensions system is also in danger of collapsing for it is grossly underfunded but that is a different subject not to be discussed with Social Security for it is funded differently.
For a couple of decades the U.S. worker and employers have been paying 15% into the Social Security Fund. Some of it was used to pay the beneficiaries and the rest was borrowed by the U.S. Treasury to finance wars, higher government salaries than the private sector, lavish living and benefits for elected officials, and a number of other things that the American Taxpayers did not agree with but they were forced to swallow the pill. As of this year, the Social Security program will begin to pay more to its beneficiaries than it receives. This is happening at a time in our history when the budget deficits is going to have a nearly $2 trillion deficit. To aggravate the situation this is occurring while our nation's debt already exceeds $12.3 trillion.
No, our government never took the past excess contributions to the Social Security Fund and bought Gold with it and stored in a vault, they spent it. In order to make Social Security payments our government has to be able to do one of two things or both. One, they have to be able to borrow from others what they owe Social Security, something that it can no longer be easily done. Two, continue to receive worthless freshly printed paper from the Federal Reserve who has already warned it cannot do indefinitely. Or, they can continue to do both until the party crashes and the game is over. The moment our Treasury cannot do any of these, it will not have the money to write the Social Security checks.
So if all of this above is true, is Obama lying about a quick fix? Again, he inherited this problem and is not alone on this lie, and shame on those who have defrauded the Social Security system, the bread and butter of our senior citizens.
Who can guess the future? Who knows what will happen but there are evident signs and there are plenty of prominent, knowledgeable people warning us of possible coming social unrest. As you can see in the below embedded video you can expect that the MSM will not side with the people but with the corrupted government that defrauded the American worker.
You decide who the Patriot is and who is the Pin Head.
The Tea Party movement hijacking
By P Alfonso on Feb 10, 2010 | In 2. Politics | 1 feedback »
The death of the Tea Party movement by infiltration from the GOP is already taking place. The convention that took place in Nashville at which Sarah Palin spoke had nothing to do with the real Tea Party movement. The convention was nothing more than a GOP fundraiser. To add insult to the hijacking she went on to take payment of $100,000 and donated it to elect GOP puppets. The biggest turn off for the true Tea Party members was her endorsement of RINO, Progressive, CFR member John McCain. This for profit hoax event was a hijacking by the GOP to falsely claim the support of tens of millions of Americans that are fed up with our corrupted political system and Parties.
Non party affiliation of the Tea Party puts pressure on both political parties to listen to the people and so far, it has worked. It also attracts Constitutionalists from all parties including those outside both major political parties and Independents as well. Those who want to maintain the status quo will destroy the Tea Party movement if the people allow the GOP to take it over. it will disperse and nothing will change.
I never thought that I would post a video in which the source is MSNBC much less hosted by Rachel Maddow but in this case, the guest happens to be Ron Paul.
The agenda of the Tea Party movement is about Freedom and the Constitution which has been trampled by the Republican and Democratic Parties. It is time for the Tea Party movement to react and reject any claim that they represent or are represented by any political party. If this does not happen then the movement is dead. A good place to start would be to threaten the Republican Party to back off or support will be withdrawn of Republican candidates.
Sarah Palin does not represent the Tea Party movement nor any longer represents the American people. She has now been absorbed by the system the Tea Party movement detest. Nothing confirms it better than her new job with the Neo-Con war propaganda machine at Fox News and the warm hand shake in the picture below. If she has his blessing and confidence would you give her yours?

CFR, Trilateralist, David Rockefeller's confidant Henry Kissinger is not the way to change.
How much is the U.S. debt in Gold?
By P Alfonso on Feb 1, 2010 | In 1.5 The Economy | Send feedback »
Anyone who understands the real value of money will tell you that paper is worth nothing and Gold is real money. Before going further into looking at the burden that the debt is on our nation, let's examine the U.S. Gold Reserves.
According to information that can be found the U.S. still has the largest Gold Reserves in the world. As reported in December of 2009 the U.S. official Gold holding is 8,133.5 tones. This is just barely over one third of the 21,700 that it held in 1948. This link offers information on the U.S. held gold and the current monetary base.
Watching the U.S. National Debt Clock and looking at these huge plus and minus dollar figures is still hard to grasp in how much trouble our nation is. Unable to really comprehend how much money some of those figures actually are, perhaps it would make it easier comparing them to the value of gold or real money.
Gold is traded today at approximately $1,100 per ounce. That makes it $35,200,000 (thirty five million two hundred thousand) per ton.
The U.S Gold holdings is 8,133.5 tones or $286,299,200,000 (two hundred eighty six billion two hundred ninety nine million two hundred thousand). That seems like a lot of money and it is but somehow we have lost touch when it is compared with our debt. Take for instance the 2011 proposed budget of $3,830,000,000,000 which is thirteen times larger than our entire Gold Reserves. The deficit from this budget cannot really be determined with certainty because of the continued fall in revenues but it alone will be at least six times larger than the Gold Reserves. In 2008, the entire world production of gold was 2,330 tons or at today’s price of $82,016,000,000 and as reported, this year the government will need to borrow $2,000,000,000,000 or twenty four times the entire world gold production of 2008.
The aircraft carrier Nimitz gross weight is 97,000 tons. If we were to build it out of solid gold we would take the 97,000 tons times the $35,200,000 per ton and we would have a $3,414,400,000,000 (three trillion four hundred fourteen billion four hundred million) solid gold aircraft carrier. Our national debt is presently $12,350,000,000,000 or more than the gold value of three solid gold Nimitz at $10,243,200,000,000. Actually if we added one solid gold Titanic it would come about even. To make it even better our current deficit is almost equivalent as to borrowing one solid Gold Titanic every year for as far as the eye can see.
We can easily store our Gold Reserves in Fort Knox but we would need a chunk of the Grand Canyon to store the thirty one (31) gold Nimitz which are equivalent to the Unfunded Liabilities of $107,237,000,000,000 (one hundred and seven trillion two hundred and thirty seven billion dollars).
Perhaps you could explain this to those who are speaking of an economic recovery. The politicians who speak of transferring all of this debt to our grandchildren are pulling either our legs or just plain stupid. There is no way that anyone could pay such debt or allowed to accumulate much more. All of us will be paying for it in the very near future with the loss of our wealth.
Did this make easier to understand that we are heading for the bottom of the ocean?

Bin Laden has gone green
By P Alfonso on Jan 30, 2010 | In 1. The Nation | Send feedback »
This story about Bin Laden releasing a new tape is so pathetic that is laughable. Bin Laden has now thanks to those who exploit his name joined the ranks of the Global Warming alarmists. Really? Al Gore must to love this one. Here is a guy who has a $25 million reward hung around his neck and cannot show his face in public but always manages to stay on the spotlight. Supposedly, he has been hiding in a cave for the past nine years, lives under constant threat of being killed and suddenly he releases a tape where he shows concern with Global Warming. Give us a break, in order to believe this, one have to believe that Bin Laden is really a self-professed world Icon instead of a manufactured one. It is disgusting to see the news media outlets regurgitating this Osama Global Warming nonsense.
The Global Warming scare has gone sour. The e-mails scandal and the opinion shared by many scientists that Earth has actually been cooling and that man made CO2 gasses is only minute when it comes to weather change has send the agenda in a tail spin. So obviously, they have recruited the man that can fix all problems. When the Russians invaded Afghanistan, the CIA recruited Osama Bin Laden. When we needed an excuse to invade Iraq 9/11 was tagged on him although as reported by CNN he denied to having been involved in it. When public sentiment was getting cold about the wars, Bin Laden always managed to put out a new tape to re-ignite emotions.
The belief is that Bin Laden has been living in the tribal areas of Pakistan and Pakistani officials are skeptical that he may still be alive. There are reports that Osama had health problems which if true, years of not having access to medical care could have accelerated his fate. If this issue is analyzed one could arrive to the conclusion that if he was dead, equally friends and foes would prefer to hide it in orders to keep their movements alive.
When Bin Laden was in danger of been captured or killed in Tora Bora there were high ranking decisions in our intelligence department that allowed him to escape. Military operations with the Predators can find just about anyone hiding anywhere in the world except for Stealth Osama. The CIA has been hunting him for the past nine years but incredibly, he has managed to avoid the most sophisticated agency in the world and a $25 million tag on his head. The only obvious explanation for this is that he is worth more alive than if he is dead. If Osama Bin Laden would be proven dead or killed, the war mongers and those who have stolen many of our liberties with the Patriot Act would need another Icon to replace him in order to maintain fear and oppression in our side of the world. Perhaps our greatest threat do not arrive from those whom we are led to believe are trying to destroy us but from those who profess the desire to protect us.
Oh, and now the Global Warming alarmists who want to imprison us with Cap and Trade have also found out how valuable Bin Laden's legend is.

They need the perception that this guy is still alive so that they can keep milking the fear mongering.
Open letter to my Congressman
By P Alfonso on Jan 15, 2010 | In 1. The Nation | Send feedback »
Congressman and fellow American
I received the news letter of your trip to Afghanistan and I could not help but to respond.
As a faithful GOP member of forty years that has gone thru a revival during the past year, I found your news letter on the trip to Afghanistan disappointing. Your brief history on Afghanistan omitted the fact that since it's founding in 1747 no foreign army has ever defeated them nor it showed your personal view on this matter. Where at one time, as a good Republican I was fooled into believing that we were fighting wars to spread democracy and help the people of other nations I can no longer see it entirely that way. The generosity and the good faith of the American people has not changed in that respect but unfortunately there are other hidden forces within our nation that do not act in good faith when it comes to wars and intervention.
There are no claims of future victory in Afghanistan and only claims of no more than one hundred Al-Qaeda members. If we are not planning on winning the war and we are not fighting Al-Qaeda, what are we there for other than to have our soldiers maimed and killed and to sell Opium? I can see the picture clearly now and the Taliban are Freedom fighters who do not want foreign forces to intrude in their way of live. I will repeat; the Taliban are Freedom fighters as are the members of the Tea Party and the 9-12 Coalition who are fighting for the survivor of their traditional values not matter what they may be. I don't know if we will ever restore our Freedom, Free Market and lost traditional values at the ballot box but it should be something for you to consider. Your constituency has changed and become better informed about our government and perhaps you should have your staff to do some research to better inform you.
I personally as many others have become less faithful to political parties when it comes to who is serving the best interest of our nation. Polls have recently shown that the Tea Party has become more popular than both of our political parties are. Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich got it right when it comes to foreign wars. We need to stop the CFR and other special interests in determining when and where we go to war and give that power back to the Congress elected by the people which is the way our Constitution allows it.
Respectfully

A new decade requires a new look at wars and the conservative media
By P Alfonso on Jan 9, 2010 | In 1. The Nation | Send feedback »
Hardly anything influences our lives more that the information received thru the airwaves, whether it is TV or Radio. Americans have changed their perception in the value of the information that they receive from these sources. Many are now turning to the Internet where everyone is still allowed to have a voice and the threat of guided indoctrination is greatly reduced.
As a conservative, the last decade made me a Fox News freak and I still see them as the promoters of conservative values such as the Constitution, the preservation of the institution of family and other subjects that have been under attack by other media outlets. In the past, I also shared their views on the threat of foreign terrorism and the necessity for war. The latter has had a serious reversal and I no longer share their views on this subject, for I consider them a trademark of Fox News guided indoctrination. Do conservatism and traditional values share any parallels with wars and fear?
Having the time for research, I am truly thankful to the invention of the Internet. Such has given tens of millions of Americans the ability to become better informed with the assistance of others who were already well informed. This has generated a chain reaction that has damaged the credibility of media sources and those behind them. This fresh view has made difficult for me and other conservatives that I have spoken to of stomaching commentators like Bill O’Reilly. He works for Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch and we don’t know whom he works for other than the almighty dollar. For Bill is all about the ratings, he wants to remain in the number one spot and has morphed in order to retain his status. Recently he came under attack by Russia Today after he became critical of an interview they had with Bill Ayers. O’Reilly has the right to disagree with Bill Ayers but to attack and demean the reporter was far out of line. In reality, we can see as a disgrace to our national news sources that Russia Today has been reporting on important issues that our national controlled media will not cover.
I can still watch Glenn Beck and some of Hannity but these guys work and answer to Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes. In order to retain their jobs they will follow orders from their boss, watch the ratings, and work within the given perimeters.
It has become hard to stand being bombarded with the threat of terrorism and our enemies overseas when tens of millions of Americans have a lot of unanswered questions about 9/11 and the necessity for the wars that we are currently fighting. Fox News never asks those questions or welcomes others who will ask those questions. In that respect CNN Larry King who I am not a fan of, allowed Jesse Ventura to talk about it during an interview.
The belief that we are fighting necessary wars needs some serious review and we should be more inclined to recognize that Ron Paul and Denis Kucinich may be right. Fox News bombards its audience with fear and the need for war. It makes it feel as if we are watching the Military Industrial Complex promotional channel.
If we are going to save our country from disaster and retain our traditional values, we cannot pick and choose when we follow the Constitution we must do it all of the time.
Ron Paul has had a lot to say about wars, its constitutionality and how they have ruined our country but unfortunately few have been listening. As we are walking into a new decade and the threshold of national ruin perhaps, we should begin by listening what he has said during the last decade.
The growing Social Security problem
By P Alfonso on Jan 5, 2010 | In 1. The Nation | Send feedback »
Between Tiger Woods and the ridiculous underwear bomber story you must have captured the headlines of a shoot out in Las Vegas. Apparently, a disgruntled retiree felt that the system had cheated him out of Social Security compensation. According to the reports, he had just lost a law suit against the Federal Government for cuts in payments to his Social Security benefits.
As they say, “You ain’t seen nothing yet”. We know that our government is running on an almost two trillion dollar yearly deficit. We also know that lenders for our debt are saying “no more”. The Treasury can no longer find buyers for long term Bonds. This means that within the next two to five years we will have to buy back the trillions that we are going to borrow in short term Bonds while at the same time borrowing more. In other words, as Bond holders come to collect their $10 we will have to ask them for $20 “good luck”.
The Treasury’s Social Security and Medicare money machine has dried up. They have borrowed trillions from the funds. Such practice has already ended with Medicare as they are now paying more than they are receiving. Does that help understand what the big rush is with rethinking the Health Care system? Even worse yet the Treasury's huge borrowing machine known as Social Security will dry up within the next two or three years and will need to start borrowing money to pay benefits to the recipients. This means that the huge and growing budget deficit that we now have will need even more new lenders. The Treasury will have a huge problem finding money to compensate the increasing number of retirees as the baby boomers retire.
The lack of money to pay for Social Security and Medicare benefits is not the only problem. There are many who logically predict that the practice of quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve will bring about huge inflation or hyper inflation. Where could the Treasury get the money to finance double digit increases in Social Security payment when it is already facing nearly 50% budget deficit.
In summary if this violent reaction from one disgruntled retiree caused this much commotion one can only imagine what will happen when instead of one individual the Fed will face tens of millions of angry retirees. To keep them distracted they will have to come up with something bigger and better than the terrorism hoax. Wait; better yet, why not refer to these angry hard working American retirees as viable domestic terrorists?

Simple fiscal math spells “Big Trouble” for Americans
By P Alfonso on Dec 25, 2009 | In 1.5 The Economy | Send feedback »
If you were to pick and choose the good news that the media reports about the U.S. economy, you could clearly see that it is on the way to recovery and the recession has ended. These forecasters are a new breed of economists who unscrupulously have invented what we could refer to as Pinochionomics. Their economic forecasts and reports are nothing more than lies stacked up upon lies. On the other hand, if you look for indicators of an economical disaster looming in the near future, you will be able to find plenty of them.
Putting aside the ailments of our economy private sector and just concentrating on the fiscal condition of our government it should not be difficult to see that it is on life support. Our government’s health is under the care of the same people that just passed the Health Care bill. This bill is designed among other things to eventually replace Medicare and Medicaid although they would not dare tell you. Our government cannot continue to operate at a 50% deficit for much longer and at some point, it will become unmanageable.
The meaning of the value of money has become murky with the spending of hundreds of billions and trillions. The perspective of the magnitude of the government’s debt and deficit seems to go beyond the comprehension of most of our citizens. Not counting the tens of trillions that our government has of unfunded debt, we have once again reached our approved debt ceiling of $12.1 trillion.
Our elected unrepresentative leaders are requesting another $1.8 trillion in debt which they hope will last until shortly after the 2010 elections. That would raise the debt from $12.1 trillion to $13.9 trillion, conveniently just below $14 trillion. This addition of debt is still been debated but since our government will run out of money before the end of this year they have passed an emergency increase of $290 billion which they hope will last until mid February. If you want to know how much $290 billion is in a less abstract manner, it is equivalent to giving 15 million Americans a brand new Ford Fusion Hybrid capable of getting 41 MPG. If we were to do the math with the $1.8 trillion that they have requested then you come roughly ten million short of giving every household in America one of of them. And of course bear in mind that this is only to satisfy their thirst of borrowing for just one more year.
In summary don’t be fooled by the Pinochionomists, they are lying and what our government is trying to do cannot be sustained much longer. Visit Wikipedia and read about the collapse of the Soviet Empire as nearly thirty years later we appear to be next in line. Visit the link and have a better understanding of where our nation is heading.
With the worthless trillions that the Fed has printed to keep the banking system from collapsing, they could have bought the debt of the American public and set them free. To the contrary, they have set up a chain of events that will destroy the wealth of the middle and upper middle class and keep them enslaved forever via taxation and porverty.

Wouldn't you rather have one of these with your money?
Why more troops to Afghanistan?
By P Alfonso on Dec 2, 2009 | In 1. The Nation | Send feedback »
If you listened to Barack Obama’s speech last night and the decision of sending more troops to Afghanistan to fight a war that the American people had enough of and would like to see stopped, you most likely are disappointed. Even if you were in favor of sending more troops and continuing the war, you should be disappointed knowing that sending more troops will not win the war.
The deception is disturbing. Those who really understand how the system works know that these decisions are not made by a puppet president but by the CFR. Yes, my guess is that at least 95% of the American people have not yet heard of the CFR because deliberately they are kept ignorant of its existence. It is not our elected officials who make the rules of engagement. The President just signs the orders based on the suggestions that are given to him by the CFR members setting at the table with him. They are the one who have the long term policy agenda. Amongst many others, this presidential symbol of leadership is one of the deceptions that the American people live under. Here you can see our Secretary of State Hillary Clinton openly admitting that she gets her orders from the CFR. The last real president that we had was Ronald Reagan and he was not a CFR member.
The only thing that Barack Obama has achieved so far is more of the same that George W. Bush accomplished and that is allowing others who are not elected into office to lead the American people into the abyss. I used to believe all of this now discredited non-sense about spreading Democracy throughout the world, liberating other countries and saving us from mostly fabricated terrorists designed to maintain wars and keep the American public in fear, but not anymore. I still stand behind this article that I posted on July 24th.
Where it is true that occasionally an Al-Qaeda terrorist is killed in Pakistan the Taliban are freedom fighters in their own country that do not want our government to tell them how to run their lives anymore that we want our own government telling us how to run ours. The proper course of action should have been announcing an end to a war we do not have the money to finance. Ending the war in Afghanistan would spare the lives of our soldiers that will die between now and the time in which the CFR finally agrees to a withdrawal without a victory.

Brace yourself for another stimulus package
By P Alfonso on Nov 29, 2009 | In 1.5 The Economy | Send feedback »
Congress is quietly preparing another stimulus package to slow down States and Counties layoffs for lack of funds. In other words, another government jobs saving multi-billions bailout is coming soon. This should not come as a surprise for they have been mulling it for a while. Such increases on the national debt do not hurt it anymore for no one is lending us the money and it is done with worthless fresh printed money that will help in making the already unpayable debt worthless. Does it matter anymore since they have already killed the dollar? The only reason it has not collapsed yet is because everyone else in the world is holding the stinking corpse looking for a place to dump it. Just look at the current price of precious metals skyrocketing and the value of the dollar dipping against other currencies.
Those who still believe that our economy can be saved are the laughing stock of those who are preaching it. They don't bother to see that is written all over, even by the press which is so heavily criticized for misleading the public reports it. Most people still prefer to stay in Wonderland and pick and choose the appeasing and misleading headlines.
The Federal Reserve and The Treasury have pushed the economic disaster as far back as they can, but they cannot stop it. The first quarter of 2010 could be it unless they manage to pull another card from under the sleeves. A most likely retail sales slump will kill many of last year’s survivor retailers which will bring another big round of unemployment. How many unemployed can stay on the Federal payroll indefinitely as no new jobs are created by the continuous shrinking private sector? How many more millions in addition to the 37 last reported can be fed with Food Stamps? It cannot be done forever.

What are the credit card companies up to?
By P Alfonso on Nov 22, 2009 | In 1.5 The Economy | 2 feedbacks »
Is there anyone out there who really thinks that Congress is going to save the consumer from being victims of the credit card companies? Forget about Congress trying to save you from the banks, they are in bed with the banks. The banks are in deep trouble for they are not solvent and many more will continue to close as the economy deteriorates further. How can the politicians in Washington save us if they have allowed our economy to be destroyed? We are still running a huge growing deficit of well over $100 billion a month that they don’t even want to talk about anymore. We are two months into the 2010 fiscal year and they are not even trying to vote on the budget. In fact, I don’t think they are even trying to come up with one anymore. They are going to ride this ship that has lost its rudder until it sinks in the storm. You can be certain that no one is lending us that money anymore and we are relying almost entirely on the Fed printing press.
The credit cards companies know the debt that they are holding is going to be worth nothing in the near future and are jacking up the interest to infuriate the customers, encourage them to close the accounts and force them to pay off the balances. Many companies have also increased the minimum payment from 2% to 5% trying to get the balances paid off in less of half the time.
If you have invested in precious metals your gold has gone up over 30% in 2009 and silver over 60% or not really for it is the dollar that is worth much less. Instead of using money that has been invested in precious metals or commodities which are holding their value there are better options:
· Buy that fuel economy new car now before the prices and the interest go higher and before gasoline skyrockets. Finance it for as long as you can, 72 months sounds good. Five years from now you won’t be able to buy a basket of groceries for what you owe on the sixth year.
· Refinance your home at today’s low interests. Eliminate the line of credit that could become 20% interest as it was in the late 70’s. At that rate if you have a $100,000 line of credit your interest will be $20,000 a year and will make your payments go up where you could not afford the payments.
· Run your credit cards up with 12 month no interest and pay the minimum or even better 12 months no payment no interest. Twelve months from now the balance could be worth half or less of what you invest on precious metals or commodities today.
· Take you money out of the bank. Cash in your CD’s and invest on commodities. Yes, stock up on food it will cost a lot more. The FDIC is insolvent and cannot guarantee your money unless they get a bailout from the Federal Reserve. To cover the FDIC it will print out hundreds of billions of dollars in which case the dollar will devalue and your money will be worth nothing anyway.
· And I didn’t tell you this but buy a gun, yes, a big one. You may need it to keep others from trying to get what little you have left.
You can only stay ahead of the game if you understand how to play it. I have researched trying to make sense out of what is going on in our country and with the economy. As a few others I have tried to advise and help others but most of the time it falls on deaf ears. Knowing what I know and seeing what the people are doing makes it easy to understand this quote of whom I have not been able to find the source but I love it:
"From what I can tell looking at history, all peoples of every empire at its peak, just before its imminent collapse, belligerently maintain their lifestyles at all cost to their own wealth and their own chance of survival. For a number of reasons, you cannot talk them into saving themselves."

Use your head, open your eyes, this is no time to be playing dangerous games.
Should 9/11 terrorists be judge in civil court?
By P Alfonso on Nov 18, 2009 | In 1. The Nation | 1 feedback »
Much disagreement appears to be lingering on the future of this subject. Some rightfully agree that the perpetrators of heinous terrorist acts should not have the same privilege as the common criminal. Others feel that military tribunal or public court of law should not matter much as long as justice is served and the truth prevails. Either way, what is the big deal? The main objective should be to finally put closure to the issue and the prosecution of these detainees.
We have on one side people such as Hillary Clinton supportive of a trial in civil court. She happens to be on the political side with a view that no harm would come from using our nation’s legal system to prosecute the perpetrators of the attacks on 9/11. Hillary is a member of the party that sees less of a necessity to be involved in foreign wars of dominance and instead find ways to dominate our citizens via Socialist policies. From her point of view, infringement on the freedom of our people to prevails over foreign dominance.
On the other side, there is Rudy Giuliani who is opposed to holding the trials in New York where the crime was committed. As a supporter and a member of the Party that started the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as a result of 9/11, one can understand that he has no petty for these ruthless terrorists. Given the fact that he was on that day the Mayor of New York City and knows well of all of the events that took place, one would assume that he should feel comfortable with having a public trial and let all of the details be made public. On the other hand, there are many events reported on that day that have been challenged when compared with the facts.
Attorney General Eric Holder is of the opinion that there is nothing to fear by having the terrorism suspect’s trial in New York. Whether one may agree or disagree with his opinion the most interesting factor with these detainees is that many have been incarcerated for more than eight years. How long does it take to gather the necessary evidence to bring these cases to court? One could not help but to wonder if these trials are been deliberately stalled or if there ever will be enough evidence to convict the suspects.
Another way of looking at these terrorists trial move to New York City comes from The Truthers. Having these trials made public then they would hope that many of the unanswered questions that they have put forward could be answered. Some members of the 9/11 Commission publicly complained that many of their questions were never answered. One of the criticisms on the report is that the mysterious collapse of the 47 stories building 7 as seen on this video was not even mentioned in the report. The Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth are firm in their assumption that WTC Building 7 which was not hit by an airplane was brought down with the use of nanothermite.
With different points of opinion on how to proceed with this highly controversial event, it is likely that much could be learned by the public if the trials were held in civil court. Even the families of the victims are split on this issue. It would be enlightening for many learning in detail how these terrorists managed 100% success in their flawless hijacking plans. The New York City Emergency Center, Secret Service, CIA and many other agencies had offices in WTC Building 7. In spite of all of this according to many witnesses’ recounts, there were explosions and other experts claim that there was chemical evidenced of explosives residue found on the site.
Putting into proper perspective all of the events that took place and claims that have been made by different people, it would be refreshing to find the answers and more details under the rubble of the 9/11 disaster. If the analysis of the Architects and Engineers were correct, then many would be in favor of having the 9/11 mastermind explaining how they bypassed security and spent weeks setting up explosives in order to bring down building seven or finally putting to rest all such allegations as been false.
No matter what the final conclusion may be, what is of most importance is to find that honesty, justice and truth leads the way in which our nation is ruled.

Don’t be fooled, open your eyes and see the non-recovery recovery
By P Alfonso on Nov 4, 2009 | In 1. The Nation | Send feedback »
Tunnel vision recovery probably would be a better term to describe the so much spoken recovery. Macro selective view of financial indicators is a very deceiving way to prescribe the condition and direction of our economy. There are many who agree that none of the basic problems dealing with our economy and banks have been resolved but just injected them with adrenalin. Those who are preaching recovery know the truth and are only portraying an illusion in order to maintain some public trust for their own personal gain. I recently found this quote and would like to share it with you, "From what I can tell looking at history, all peoples of every empire at its peak, just before its imminent collapse, belligerently maintain their lifestyles at all cost to their own wealth and their own chance of survival. For a number of reasons, you cannot talk them into saving themselves." I can witness to this, can you?
In the news today, we have reports that the employment decline continues to slow although still it nears a quarter of a million per month. At the same time, large companies such as Johnson & Johnson just announced a work reduction of 8,000 employees. There are others that look at a brighter picture going into the New Year but this Holiday Season could become the breaker of that illusion. People are either hurting financially or tightening their wallets. Even a small drop in spending compared to last year could put thousands of retailers out of business and accelerate the steep decline on employment, commercial Real Estate and the economy in general. During the month of October, there was a 28% increase in bankruptcies. If you happen to live in one of the U.S. cities with the highest unemployment, you are not in a recession but a depression.
What has kept our nation’s economy hanging at the edge of the cliff is the cheap money poured into it by the Federal Reserve. There is no way to resolve our budget deficit without massive spending cuts which in turn will mean the loss of many more jobs. The States have avoided massive layoff because of the money that the Federal Government has poured to avoid such. That is why the present administration only claim of success is that the stimulus money spent so far has saved hundreds of thousands of jobs. On the downside, because the States have relied on that money they have failed to make the needed cuts and instead of a cure, they have developed an addiction. They are now counting into receiving continued bailouts from our bankrupted Federal Government that is continuously bailed out by selling bonds sometimes even to itself. We must face reality that even in the short term the nearly two trillion dollar yearly deficit is unsustainable.
We can look in recent history and see the series of events that took place in Argentina when their economy and currency collapsed and perhaps learn something from it. It would be even more educational to take a look at the events that took place in the Soviet Union after its collapse.
In our country the majority still cannot see what is happening, the rest of the world are preparing for the demise of the dollar. One good indicator of the health of the dollar is the recent spike and continuing rise in the price of Gold. The low price in 2009 was $810 an ounce and today it reached $1097 or an increase of 26% and rising. Even more amazing is the $525 an ounce in 2006 which has now more than double or better said the dollar is worth less than half as much as it was then. Gold has achieved this without a panic which is a major driver of gold price spikes, so one can only imagine what it could go to if and when panic settles in.
Perhaps from reading this article, you cannot tell of my optimism and the belief that we can repair our country and government. I have been asked by friends, "Do you have any good news?” The only good news that I can find is that people are waking up and are stepping into the path of the destructive direction in which a Progressive Government has taken our nation for decades. The people will rise and demand that our Constitution, Bill or Rights and traditional values which are indispensable for our national unity and survival be restored and only then, we will begin to experience a real recovery.

With nothing better to do, Congress votes on Confucius Day
By P Alfonso on Oct 30, 2009 | In 2. Politics | Send feedback »
What, don’t they have better things to do? In memory of last month's 2,560th birthday of Chinese philosopher Confucius, the House passed a resolution of recognition for "his invaluable contributions to philosophy and social and political thought." The vote results were as follow, 361 supported it, 47 voted “no”, and 13 voted "present".
We could find comfort that they decided to honor Confucius instead of what could have been the preference of some in the Obama Administration. They would have probably preferred the honoring of Mao Tse Tung. There are some in the current administration that would have preferred a revolutionary china man but Congress choice was to honor a philosopher. It must be very disappointing for those in the Obama administration to see that the silent majority is awakening. Undoubtedly, they would prefer Mao’s view that, “passivity is fatal to us, our goal is to make the enemy passive.”
Two other Mao’s quotes to better understand the ideology of Maoists in the Obama Administration:
“Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”
“The guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea.”
It is possible that Congress may have been somewhat confused while honoring Confucius. The following quote must have serve as the inspiration for our Congress to enact the resolution; after all, this is their life and the world in which they reside. “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
If they would have continued reading other Confucius’ quotes perhaps, they would have felt differently and had a change of heart. On the other hand, Congressman Ron Paul who has a reputation as Dr. No for his record on wasteful voting, on this one he chose to vote yes. So the only explanation that we can perhaps find in such is that he did what other Congressmen did not and continued to read other Confucian quotes:
“An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.”
" Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.”
“Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage.”
“The superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort.”
“The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.”
“To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice.”
“The object of the superior man is truth.”

Grassroots will protest media outlets on October 17th

The Grassroots movement that brought about protests at town hall meetings this summer and the rallies of April 15th, July 4th, and the September 12th March on Washington DC has targeted media outlets. As a response for the lack of media recognition and coverage as a legitimate movement that expresses the concern of millions of Americans, on October 17th, media outlets will be face to face with those they have chosen to ignore and at times attempted to ridicule.
Five good reasons no to go to war with Iran
By P Alfonso on Oct 3, 2009 | In 1. The Nation | Send feedback »
Reason one: We are a bankrupted nation that cannot even approve the 2010 budget which started on October 1st. Special continuous resolution had to be passed to avoid shutting down the Federal government. I guess we are now surviving from pay check to pay check not knowing if China and Japan will hand us a check next month. In the midst of this disaster some of our elected officials are talking about another war. Aren't wars, one of the reasons why we are bankrupted? Take Viet Nam for instance, we not only lost the war but it started us on a financial tail spend. The war in Iraq cannot be declared a victory because it is too early to tell if the present Iraqi government will ever survive. Afghanistan has not only being declared unwinnable but it will be lost without tens of thousands of additional troops. This war at best case scenario is predicted as an indefinite stalemate. The Taliban whether we like them or not are Freedom fighters in their own land. They want their occupation ended and will fight until there is none left something that we are not likely to achieve. That is the way these people fight and the reason why history shows that they never have been defeated. We went into Afghanistan to eradicate Al-Qaida but they have moved into Pakistan. Although they have been weakened we cannot get rid of them unless we do something that we cannot, which is to invade Pakistan.
Reason two: Our citizens do not have to be afraid of another nation. We have the capacity to obliterate the world and that should be enough of a deterrent. It appears that it is other nations that should be afraid of us. Yet, we are being bombarded with fear mongering and suggestions that we may need to get involved in yet another war, this time with Iran. Claims are made that it is to perhaps prevent a future attack on our soil. Home Land Security tells us that they cannot prevent an attack if someone was determined to do so. Twice in history, our homeland has been attacked. The first was Pearl Harbor and there is plenty of speculation on whether a surprise attack could have been avoided. Some believe that the attack was permitted in order to bring about popular support into entering WWII which until that point had faced opposition. The second was the attack on 9/11 which is escalating into one of the most controversial and sensitive issues that our nation has ever faced. The questionable in depth detail of events and unanswered questions are rallying protests and demanding answers. It is not just a handful anymore as millions have joined and question the findings of the 9/11 Commission. You Tube has been inundated with the forgotten questionable events of that day. What was actually reported and what has been suggested happen do not seem to match. We could accurately say that in this case one plus one does not equal two. Visit You Tube and decide for yourself.
Reason three: Israel who is our strongest allied in the Middle East rightfully feels threatened because of the language of the Iranian government and their hostility towards Israel. Are those fears exaggerated and are the Iranians bluffing? Perhaps both, it is well known that Israel may possess as many as two hundred nuclear weapons that can be delivered by aircraft, submarines or missiles. This is more than enough to wipe Iran out of the face of the earth. Many others claim that Iran's clergy religious fanaticism would encourage war to expedite the coming of the twelfth Imam prophesy. This view others find baseless and totally nonsense. In addition, a nuclear attack on Israel by Iran would also mean the destruction of the Palestinians and their land which the Iranian government claims to protect. But yet we keep hearing war mongering coming from our elected officials, starting with Senator John McCain. Whose payroll is he on and who does he represent? He has admitted not being good at finances therefore; he doesn't understand that the Chinese and the Japanese are not going to lend us the money to finance another war and Bernanke is just about out of ink.
Reason four: International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei has stated that Iran is not in search of nuclear weapons. Those who are pushing for war would like to discredit ElBaradei assessment although it turns out that he was right concluding on March 19th of 2003 of Iraq not possessing WMDs but we went to war anyway. One would think that if ElBaradei was inept for the job he would have been replace long before now.
Reason five: There are only allegations that Iran is not complying with International laws on their nuclear programs. There are others who argue that Iran is in compliance and that such rhetoric is just an excuse for going into another unnecessary war. Ron Paul has made a lengthy statement on this matter and there is a You Tube video embedded on this link. He states that Iran is in compliance with International law and that there are some that under false pretences are looking to start another war.
For those who claim that we are still sending our soldiers overseas to fight for the Freedom of others perhaps it is time that we wake up to the reality that they need to comeback to fight for the freedom that we are losing at home.
In summary, the real reason for these sudden attacks on Iran appears to be reluctance on giving up the purchasing power of the U.S. Dollar which is virtually already dead. Iran is now trading with Euros and bypassing the trading with Petro-Dollars is not acceptable to some. This whole dollar thing reminds me of the movie "Weekend at Bernie's". Bernie has been killed by the Mob and these two young guys (China & Japan) are carrying the corpse everywhere giving the illusion to Bernie's friends, that he is still alive.

The New World Order promoters mistakenly ignore human nature
By P Alfonso on Sep 30, 2009 | In 1. The Nation | Send feedback »
We are well aware of the attempts of some governments especially ours to create a New World Order. We can call this World government what it really is, a Totalitarian government that will strip the citizens of all member nations of Freedom and Independence. None of these so called Democratic nations have held elections and asked their people to vote on this subject. They intent to forcibly shove it down our throats. The long planned agenda of the oligarchs to control the world is by far not a done deal yet. As we can see China, Russia, India and Brazil are fighting against it by joining forces. Even if we don’t agree with the internal policies of these nations, we must recognize that they are rightfully fighting against this New World Order nonsense. The people that dreamed this up are about as naive as Karl Marx who did not realized that his philosophy no matter how noble he thought it was, it went against human nature and it was doomed to fail. The idea that a New World Order will end all wars is not only naive but also stupid. Unless, they would manage to turn humanity into Zombies there will be violent resistance until the nations again would regain their independence.
The unquestionable truth is that man still possesses the same qualities with which he was created. One of them is physical and shows our homogeneity, most still share the original and most common type of blood; type O (or zero antigenic). The second and most important is the fact that man was born free and independent, and will always fight to remain so. To this day, the vast majority of the world’s citizens still have this embedded in their subconscious. It is as breathing a natural reflex, and as essential as food and water. Without freedom and independence, man looses the desire to live and therefore will fight to get it back even if he has to pay for it with his life for otherwise he finds it not worth living. So therefore, even if this New World Order nonsense succeeded it would only be short lived. Man would resist it and fight to regain what was given to him by his creator, Freedom and Independence.
There is a growing awareness and resistance towards the One World Government movement. We need to use every means available in order to bring to light the corruption in government that has brought us ruin by making our citizens as well as our nation slaves of debt. It is by far not just the current administration but also others before it. The oligarchs and Illuminati’s of the world (the banksters) have deliberately ruined our economy and have done so to in order to be able to control the people. Who in our country today is not a slave of credit or have not lost everything because of it? Even the few that are not enslaved by credit eventually will lose everything because others were enslaved. This appears to be a deliberate agenda instituted to control and dominate the citizens of the world. It is ironic that while the New World Order is referred to by many as a conspiracy theory government officials openly talk about it. In a short list, we have George Bush father and son, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Gary Hart, Henry Kissinger, Barack Obama, Gordon Brown and the list goes on and on.
It has been six month since I watched this video and it opened my eyes. I am yet to find the truth but have been able to see pass the lies. Those who can see the events of 9/11 beyond the wall of lies that was build around it will question everything that is happening today. I am more and more convinced that the 9/11 truth movement although still inconceivable by many is going to be the tilting point in which the people will finally open their eyes and realize how they have blindly being guided in a direction that they never intended to go. This also holds Barack Obama to the fire for complicity with the lack of response and for failing to answer to the pleas of the people such as the public statement by Charlie Sheen on his open letter to the President and the video he released. This is not the only questionable incident that has stirred our nation I mentioned others in my previous article.
The 9/11 Truthers are no longer an invisible minority of conspiracy theorist but instead millions of concerned citizens with legitimate questions. Many of our citizens still find difficult to believe this concept but they need to catch up to what is happening because the rest of the world seems to have already done so. Visit this link and see the 9/11 Commission Report being ridiculed by comedians on national French TV. What does that say about the millions who still refuse to see the lies that are at plain site? I am neither a conspiracy theorist nor support theories without proof. This issue is about the lies and the many questions that have been brought forward specially by relatives of those who lost their lives on 9/11 and have fallen on deaf ears. There may be some who will read this last two paragraphs of my article and without taking the time to research will erroneously refer to it as a conspiracy theory, I suggest to those that they call Senator Mark Dayton of Minnesota and other elected government officials who have raised the same questions but have been ignored. You can also question the television appearance of Richard Gage founder of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth as shown by this Fresno California TV station. As the author of the article title it, “Is the dam beginning to break?”
Be a patriot, it is a citizen’s duty not to blindly accept what we receive from an already discredited media, question and research. A couple of days ago I heard someone sadly but true quote the following “… the far left and the far right in their own way are fighting for freedom; the rest of the nation is at Wal-Mart.”
2009 has the Spirit of 1776 
Major international crisis is looming as history tells us
By P Alfonso on Sep 28, 2009 | In 1. The Nation | Send feedback »
The political tool to stir public support is well known by government and politicians to be a crisis. The bigger the crisis the bigger the support especially when the nation is told that we are in danger and that we are facing a common enemy.
Here is a quote by Hermann Goering Hitler’s Reich Marshall during his post War World II trial at Nuremberg: “Naturally, the common people don’t want war, but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it is a democracy, or fascist dictatorship, or parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. It is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounced the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.”
Let’s go back in history and revisit the first event which launched the U.S. into its first International War. The blowing of the battleship “USS Maine” anchored in the Havana harbor. Spain was accused of blowing the ship although we could ask that who in their right mind would invite another nation’s ship into their own port to then blow it up and cause a war which they could not win. Totally senseless, right? Nevertheless, it worked and a century later, it was concluded that most likely, the magazine compartment of the ship blew up. But by then it did not matter for in 1898 it served its purpose to stir public sentiment. As a result, we occupied Cuba and the Philippines the latter actually fought a war against the U.S. as a result of the occupation. Those who opposed the occupation were never recognized as those who fight occupying forces which is, freedom fighters. Other gains from the Spanish-American war were the acquisition of Puerto Rico and Guam.
Other events that were used to stir public sentiment towards involvement in wars were:
The sinking of the Lusitania as the starter of our involvement in WWI.
The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese for involvement in WWII.
The Tonkin incident used for escalation of the War in Viet Nam.
Last but not least, the increasingly controversial attacks of September 11th 2001.
As a result of those events, not only public sentiment was manipulated into supporting wars but also it at least temporarily boosted the popularity of the presently ruling leaders.
Prior to 9/11 2001 the president’s approval and disapproval rate were neck to neck right at 50%. After the events of 9/11, we saw George W. Bush popularity rate jump over night to a height never seen before. With such support, it was not difficult to find public approval into going to war with Afghanistan and Iraq.
Our nation is now facing a similar situation in which mistrust in government and the sitting president popularity is continuously dropping. Barack Obama’s popularity is just under 50%. It makes it difficult for a government to move forward with their plans when they are in a collision course with its own citizens. So in order to distract public attention from the issues that concern them it is imperative for government to again manipulate public sentiment. What do they need? The usual vilification of a common enemy and a threat to our society and the world. Who is sitting on the hot seat? You could easily guess right by saying Iran and North Korea.
It is not to the best interest of China that we go after Korea and they will strongly oppose anyone that will try to interfere with the North Koreans. Let’s be realistic to the fact that if China would have had opposed North Korea to become nuclear they would not be today. Iran is not alone either for they have the support of China, Russia and even France. France has not been a strong allied of the U.S. because of financial bulling. France was the reason why President Nixon nixed the gold standard by refusing to further honor the U.S Dollar in gold. When the U.S. became involved into massive dollar printing to finance the Viet Nam war France demanded payment of U.S. dollars in gold and the Nixon administration put a quick end to that. We have never stopped printing since and we have yet to see the full impact of it.
The Federal Reserve has managed to slow down the pace in which we are sinking into the financial abyss. Millions of Americans are being fooled into thinking that this financial catastrophe is not taking place. Most of our citizens understand it and the rest refuse to accept it or don’t care. Social unrest is already showing signs and our government will soon find the necessity to execute a plan to rally and distract. The rhetoric that we hear clearly indicates that Iran has been single out. Being put on the spotlight continuously and vilification should tell us that the rally is coming soon and Iran is the target. The question remains if this time the people will bite into it. The results of whatever consequences follow afterwards may also be part of a well calculated plan.
The Internet has giving the people the power that they never had before. They possess a rally point in which they exchange true uncensored information, facts, thoughts and ideas. It offers knowledge like never before bypassing government indoctrination. In today’s world, the Internet is the number one enemy of the State. My guess is that if they don’t manage to shut it down soon they will lose control to the people. It is very possible that the Internet may be the real target of the next crisis.
The signs are written all over the news; there is an imminent crisis looming in order to again stir public sentiment towards government. Its goal of Socialism and their much spoken New World Order do not have public support. The threat of Al-Qaida and terrorism is a topic that has already lost steam with our citizens and so are the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. So keep your eyes on Iran and the developing of this crisis but most of all; question the real intentions.
Do not fall for fear indoctrination, our country possesses the power to destroy the world; it is others that fear us. No matter what comes next avoid distraction and stay focus to the issues that are of real importance to “We the People” and not the governing elite that wants to radically change our nation and lives.

The President and the Press
By P Alfonso on Sep 18, 2009 | In 1. The Nation | Send feedback »
No, this one is not about Barack Obama, this is about John F Kennedy as he speaks before the American Newspaper Publishers Association on April 27th 1961. John F. Kennedy asks the media to stand for the people, truth and freedom and speaks of Secret Societies. Today we can clearly see that the media has abandoned that concept so that leaves us with the questions of whom are they working for.
Aren’t you curious to find why Kennedy made such speech? Can you yet understand the warning that he gave us almost half century ago? Can you appreciate the sacrifice that he made by paying the ultimate price? A quote from his speech "Its dissenters are silenced". Visit this link. He is not the only president who has spoken of Secret Societies in the past. Who is going to challenge and dare to label President John F. Kennedy as a lunatic conspiracy theorist?
I strongly recommend reading the book “Secret Societies” by Sylvia Browne. You don’t have to believe everything you read but there is enough indisputable truth that would help in better understanding the world that we live in and the dangers that are present in our nation today. The fact that you have been able to access this information is a clear indication that use of the Internet is threatened in order to prevent our citizens from been educated, well informed and pursuing the truth. It is well known that Jay Rockefeller has introduced legislation to give the president the powers to shut down the Internet if and when ever he deems it an emergency.
The common enemies of the American people continuously morph and change. The foes of yesterday maybe the friends of today as well as today’s friend could be tomorrow’s enemy. An alert citizenry must always be able to identify their foes not only from outside our borders but from within as well. The wishes or believes of a hand full of people should not be imposed on the citizens of our country as they are openly expressing opposition. The power belongs to the people in a free and independent society and a Free Press must stand with them for if not such society has ceased to exist.
We already know that most of the media only offers trivia as a distraction from education and conceals valuable information to our citizens. They over emphasize the trivial such as Congressman Joe Wilson calling a liar someone that does so frequently, including braking many campaign promises. The March on Washington that took place on September 12th is an excellent example of media misinformation or lack of coverage to topics of real importance when they empower the people. It is well documented that between one and two million people attended the event but they still persist in lying about it. In other words, the media is working against the truth, the best interest of our citizens and in servitude to who knows whom. If all of this is true then, am I lying?
Partial transcript of Kennedy’s speech: Or listen to it on YouTube.
The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.
For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.
No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding; and from that, understanding comes support or opposition. And both are necessary. I am not asking your newspapers to support the Administration, but I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed.
I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers-- I welcome it. This Administration intends to be candid about its errors; for as a wise man once said: "An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors; and we expect you to point them out when we miss them.
Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed-- and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our press was protected by the First (emphasized) Amendment-- the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution-- not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and sentimental, not to simply "give the public what it wants"--but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold educate and sometimes even anger public opinion.
This means greater coverage and analysis of international news-- for it is no longer far away and foreign but close at hand and local. It means greater attention to improved understanding of the news as well as improved transmission. And it means, finally, that government at all levels, must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information outside the narrowest limits of national security...
And so it is to the printing press--to the recorder of mans deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news-- that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.
John F. Kennedy

The truth about the 9-12 March on Washington
By P Alfonso on Sep 16, 2009 | In 1. The Nation | Send feedback »
No one in the media is reporting the truth on the march, not even Fox News has been consistent on its reporting. It should be a very scary concept for everyone who can acknowledge the fact that our entire media is covering up what took place in Washington DC on September 12th 2009. The proof is available in videos, photos and witnesses account but most in our nation will choose to believe the lies that the media will tell them. As many times in the past, they will see what the media feeds them and not what they can see with their own eyes. Visit this link and see for yourself, then call the media outlets and ask them why they lied. I have posted on my website videos and photos as proof of the way the media is either conspiring against our citizens or are forced to do so. It probably will not be long before some in the media will say that the show of discontent from the one to two million that gathered in DC on that day is only a conspiracy theory and that such never happened.
After attending the rallies of April 15th and July 4th, I made sure not to miss the big one. It was an unbelievable experience. My wife and I had from the very beginning made plans to attend. We made the one way 800 mile trip by car and met there with my sister and her husband who flew from Miami.
As we got up that morning and went to the lobby of the hotel for breakfast, we found about a dozen people that were heading towards the rally. I had chosen to stay in a place that was close to a Metro station that would take us to the rally point. We rode the Green Line; the station was about ten miles from DC and the second stop from its origin. It came as a surprise that when we boarded the train it was already full of people with signs and back packs heading for the rally. We were told that because of the march, some lines of Metro ticket vending machines had run out of change. The meeting place for the rally was the Freedom Plaza located towards the end of Pennsylvania Avenue and a couple of blocks from the White House. The march was to take place from the Freedom Plaza to the Capitol located at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue which is about a mile away.
We got off the train at the Archives station located half way between the Capitol and the White House. As we were coming out of the underground station, we could hear multiple police sirens. There was police panic in the streets of Washington as police cars rushed toward Pennsylvania Ave and the Freedom Plaza. The sidewalks on both sides of the street were full of people marching towards the plaza. The police had obviously scrambled and called for backup as they were facing an unexpected crowd. They were forced to begin closing the crossing streets into Pennsylvania Avenue. The crowd had swollen to several times what the Freedom Plaza could hold which is estimated at 20,000. On one side the crowd was nearing the perimeters of the White House and on the other it was extending down on Pennsylvania Avenue towards the Capitol.
The march was scheduled to start at 10:00 AM but the police could no longer contain the people where they were as the crowd was growing at a very fast pace and at 9:30 AM told them to start moving towards the Capitol. We never walked towards the Freedom Plaza as the march was coming towards us we just got on the street ahead of the possibly 100,000 + thousand that were already there. By the time we got to the Capitol there were already tens of thousands there. We went around a fence and a grassy area which to our surprise placed us on the first row in front of the stage. The event program included multiple speakers that were granted three minutes each and some entertainers.
Everyone has heard from the media that thousands or tens of thousands gathered for the event. I can tell you as an eye witness that such reporting is a gross lie and it shows that the turnout has scared some people. Fox News Bill O’Reilly reported 75,000 thousand on his September 14th show. I e-mailed him and asked him if he was getting his information from The New York Times. I had left the DVR set to record the event for did not wanted to miss what the media had actually covered. Glenn Beck as he reported while the rally was taking place showed disappointment. He admitted not being happy for not being allowed to attend the event. It was also obvious that he had to unwillingly report that the March had gathered up 60,000 thousand. As we can see on this video the next day Fox News came out with a more accurate depiction of the event.
If you still don’t believe that the rally far exceeded the attendance that the media reported ask the people who were attending the Black Family Reunion on DC. The grassy area of the Washington Mall was reserved for an event called Black Family Reunion. The green area was fenced and there were tents erected for their event. The 9-12 marchers filled the unfenced area of the Mall in front on the sides and behind their reserved space all the way to the World War II memorial. During the event we were informed by the organizers of the march that the police had requested that the protesters move out of the Mall area for it was not reserved for the march. Of course that sounded kind of silly for all other areas were already filled and there was no other place that those people could go. At that point, the crowd started chanting, “We own the place, we own the place…” There were hundreds of thousands left on Pennsylvania Avenue which had no other place left to go as photos show. Pennsylvania Avenue was filled solid in addition to the Capitol area and the Mall. The crowd had a ball by frequently chanting, “Can you hear us now?”
Everyone at the rally had a highlighted gripe or reason for being there. The posters that protesters held showed what their pet peeves were. Unanimously they believe that the course that our government has taken must be stopped and they intent to see it happen. So I will finish by saying from personal experience for I have attended every scheduled event so far, it not only was a major success but also is not the end but just the beginning. “WE’LL BE BACK”
This photo is probably what media is reporting. This photo only shows a very small portion of the people that showed up for the 9-12 March on Washington DC. We can only guess that the media must have concluded that the 1.5 million who could not fit into this picture were just tourists.

9-12 March on Washington DC true attendance was one to two million

The news media not only denied the event worthy coverage but also discredited itself even more with the gross lie of reporting thousands or tens of thousands. See these pictures and videos and conclude who is telling the truth and who is lying. Our media behaves the same way as the media controlled by world dictators who they so hypocritically criticize, “shame on them.” Don’t be fooled by them anymore and find the truth yourself.
There should be an outcry from our citizens even more so by those who oppose this movement for they are the ones who are denied the truth and fooled with lies, the rest of us already know the truth.
View of early marchers going down Pennsylvania Avenue towards the Capitol.
It took these marchers hours to get out of Pennsylvania Avenue and disperse into other areas. This is a view towards the Freedom Plaza and the White House which is just behind the trees at the end of the street.
This is a view from the same place towards the Capitol. Again these people are barely moving as they are finding trouble fitting into the existing crowds.
This must be the 75,000 that O’Reilly reported. We must guess that the other million plus did no count because they did not fit in the picture.
This view of the Mall shows the people that the police wanted removed and stayed anyway for they did not have another place to go either.
People went where ever there was still room.
Luckily, we were able to work our way in front of the stage and witnessed the entire program. You can watch some of the program on this video that I posted on You Tube. There were several black patriots that delivered powerful and emotional speeches but no one will hear them because the media wants to indoctrinate the nation to think that those who protested are racists.

Below is my personal video from the march that I posted on YouTube.
This video shows reporting from Fox News on the size of the crowd.

Glenn Beck is on fire

I just had a good friend of many years who e-mail me to inquire if I have been watching Glenn Beck on Fox News. His reference to Glenn was "This guy is on fire". I wrote him back a lengthy response but then decided to instead make it public and publish it as an article. Below is my response to him:
Yes, Glenn Beck is on fire, I watch him every night. It is obvious that during his last vacation two weeks ago he received good advice and redefined his show. Notice that he came back without jeans and sneakers and is acting more seriously. He also has stop attacking Obama directly and is going after things that surrounds the government. I wrote this article a couple of month ago and sent it to him.
Open letter to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck. Take a look at it and see what I say on it.
A third political party could be the U.S. inevitable solution

Let both of our political parties take as a warning to what has just happened in Japan. The Democratic Party of Japan has just won a landslide victory in their country. This party should not be confused and made a parallel comparison with the Democratic Party in our nation or with Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party. The Democratic Party of Japan was founded in 1998 by disgruntled members of other parties. The Japanese people have being deceived into believing that the Conservative party that has ruled for decades was indeed conservative in the same way as we have been fooled that the present Republican Party represents conservatives in our nation.
